Slow mac book pro,especially on internet

hello all
i'm having since a couple of months some problems with my mac (2.53 ghz 4 gb ram osx 10.7.4 i5, 500 gb hd including 100 gb with windows xp bootcamp)
every internet browser (firefox safari chrome although almost always use firefox) sometimes is fine but sometimes it is slow or after 5 minutes loading he tells me can not load the page.
for the rest (activities not related to the internet)it works is fine belonging sometimes it crashes and I have to turn it off with power button and restart everything. I think there' are some problems, maybe virus, I was wondering how can I check if everything goes well and where to start.
sorry for the ignorance,
thanks in advance
lorenzo

Have you tried with another browser? For instance, if you're using Safari, I would download Firefox to see if the same sites choke on it.
Call back,
Clinton

I want to connect my Mac Book Pro to the internet in France without any wifi connection available? Mi Fi? Sim card?

I want to connect my Mac Book Pro to the internet in France without any wifi connection available? Mi Fi? Sim card? All we have is a phone signal in this rural French location. I want to be able to Skype to states from there. We have a friend with a 3G ipad who uses an Orange sim card to do it. I would rather not have to buy an Ipad.
thanks

I found out that the data package for one month useage with MiFi is 1G. How many minutes of online time does that correspond to?

SLOW Mac Book Pro help appreciated.

Hello friends. I was searching the forums for help to understand why my Mac Book Pro is suddenly so slow... I found and ran etreCheck... so I'll copy and paste it here... the one item in read was that time machine is not configured.... anyway, here you go:
Problem description:
A few weeks ago, my Macbook pro started running slow… the spinning icon just keeps spinning… it takes so much longer to restart my computer now… 10+ minutes… more than 1/2 of my hard drive is free…
This problem is more evident when I go to close a webpage or program or when I sync Itunes.
Thanks, G

MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Very Very Slow Mac Book Pro

Mac Book Pro 13" Late 2010
Mac OsX 10.6.3
Problem:
Opening FInder Windows and genral activity on the Mac has become incredibly slow. Opening a Finder Window by clicking on the FInder Dock Icon can take anywhere up to 6 seconds, and a ll I see is the spinning beach ball while I wait.
The Mac was running Osx 10.6.8 but I reinstalled the Os from the original install CD's and which meant I downgraded. The Mac worked fine for about two hours and now slow down has started again. I have been trying to update the Os to 10.6.8 but now the Finder keeps freezing, nothing but the beach ball of death.
The computer will operate fine of a USB HD running Lion.
I have Verified/Repaired Permissions
Verified/Repaired the HD - the HD showed no errors according to Disk Utility
Cheked the SMART statued of the HD, and it Verifies okay.
Reinstalled the HD
Created a new User Account
Scanned the computer with ClamXav and found no malitious software
Note this mac has had the Motherboard replaced under warranty twice, the last replacement was in May, the computer has been used for noting except web browsing and email since then.
Coincidentally my friend's Mac of the same vintage and Os is having a very similar problem.
Any pointers?

After an hour the back ball came back again. Opening Safari or even a Finder window would cause the Mac to freeze.
I have reased the HD and reinstalled Os 10.6.3 from the original DVD, then updated to 10.6.8. The computer lasted about 4 hours before the same problems came back again.
I tried to install Os 10.7.0 from an Apple Installer USB. The Installer said there was a disk error and couldn't complete the Installation.
I ran disk utilities however it found no problems.
I erased the HD again I reinstalled 10.6.3. and then tried to Install 10.7.0 but received an error massage, "The installation could not be completed, please try again".
I tried to update the Os to 10.6.8 but the update process stalls at about 50% .
The computer now freezes in beachball mode after about one minute of booting.
Next I will try to swap HD's and see if that works.

Slow Mac Book Pro with Maverick Software

I have a Mac Book Pro Mid 2009 model. Ever since I have loaded Maverick software my computer has been very very slow. Is there anyway to speed up the processor or revert back to Mountain Lion software? This is really making me a disgruntled Mac user and I have always been a real supported of Apple products. Suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello!
I'm new to forum but I am experiencing the same problem with '09 Mac Book Pro. New installed Mavericks worked quick at first but suddenly everything slowed down and the whole system seems to be lagging and it's not very responsive. I have upgraded from Mountain Lion and never had any problems. I can understand that the machine is 5 years old but it's not very dated and should be supported buy apple in their new upgrades. However for now I would like to bring my laptop to life and wondered if there is any way to find out what is slowing down the machine or would I be better going back to my previous system?. Would Apple Genius team be able to help me with this issue?
I'm desperate to get it working.

i have had other programs even shutdown randomly.

VERY SLOW Mac Book Pro after Mavericks update...

I have recently updated my MacBook Pro to Mavericks and everything is slow. I use IMovie and my computer freezes. What should I do?

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help to identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the state of the system that may be pertinent.
Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out. Here's a brief summary: You copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. You wait about a minute. Then you paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, paste again. That's all there is to it. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, proceed anyway.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script. It does nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The script will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but it's really a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
clear; PB=/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy; PR () { [[ "$o" ]] && o=$(sed 's/^/ /' <<< "$o") && printf '\n%s:\n\n%s\n' "$1" "$o"; }; PC () { o=$(egrep -v '^[[:blank:]]*($|#)' "$2"); PR "$1"; }; PF () { o=$($PB -c Print "$2" | awk -F'= ' \/$3'/{print $2}'); PR "$1"; }; PN () { [[ $o -eq 0 ]] || printf "\n%s: %s\n" "$1" $o; }; a=$(id | grep -w '80(admin)'); [[ "$a" ]] && sudo true && r=1 || r=; { [[ "$a" ]] || echo $'No admin access\n'; [[ "$a" && !

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately, leaving the Terminal window empty. If that doesn't happen, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter your password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important, so don't worry about it.
The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again.
Please note:
☞ This procedure is all copy-and-paste — type nothing in the Terminal window except your login password if and when prompted.
☞ Remember to post the output. It's already in the Clipboard when you see "[Process completed]" in the Terminal window. You don't have to copy the output; just paste into your web browser.
☞ If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.

Unbearably slow Mac book pro

In the last week my mid 2009 17" has gotten unbearably slow. It took 50 minutes to boot up earlier today and I don't know what is causing it. I have upgraded to 8gbs of ram and I have 37 gbs of HD space free(which I know is a little low but it still shouldn't run that slow. I've ran it on 8 gbs for a whole before and it was fine) Could my Hd be dieing???
I can't even open up finder without getting the colorful busy cursor.
If any one has an idea what it would be I would greatly Appricate it!
Cheers

Hi...
and I have 37 gbs of HD space free
37GB's of free space on a 500GB drive is not sufficient. Rule of thumb. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.

Very slow mac book pro

My MBP has become very slow. Seems like I get the spinning color wheel all the time, which is annoying. I happens in Safari and Mail mostly. Any suggestions? Trying to avoid taking it in for an expensive service.

John,
Restarted MBP in Safe Mode last night and will use it a bit later on and report back. I've also been experiencing big slowdowns in my Imac and ran the process you described above. No errors in Disk Repair and here's the report from your app:

Removed trend micro smart crap files from disco and it worked.

Why my mac book pro is so slow with internet when my PC is going so fast?

Hi, I recently bought a mac book pro, with OS Maverick, 8gb RAM, I core7. I'm using WIFI and it's running so slow to connect to hotmail, or send an email. It's happening the same with an easy search in google. It's like the mac is thinking.
At the same moment my old PC is going so fast that I'm a bit disappointed.
Can somebody have an idea of this problem, please?

Hello there, Marol03.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting Mac running slowly:

Why is my Mac Book Pro so slow?

Hi my Mac Book Pro is running really slow. It takes ages to perform simple tasks such as opening apps and doing basic jobs. I have run a check on the computer using Etresoft and the results are pasted below. Can anyone see anything wrong or have any suggestions? I have run Disk Utility and all fine. I have also cleared out loads of files on the hard drive and moved to a external one. Thanks.

When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

I have an old mac book pro built in 2006. I just use it in the kitchen to go on the internet--which it does fairly well. It's running OS 10.6.8. Would it be risky to upgrade to the OS 10.7.4 Lion. Or should I leave well enough alone?

I have an old mac book pro built in 2006. I just use it in the kitchen to go on the internet--which it does fairly well. It's running OS 10.6.8. Would it be risky to upgrade to the OS 10.7.4 Lion. Or should I leave well enough alone? I was hoping that the upgrade would allow me to use an old version of Kindle for Mac. I need to get the machine into 2012 functionality. If I can't do it, no worries.

The very early 2006 MBPs are limited to Snow Leopard (10.6.8). If your MBP is a model Identifier 2.1 or 2.2, then you can install Lion (10.7.5). Note that the transition to Lion might mean that some applications will not be compatible so updates or substitutions would be needed.
I have a 2006 MBP, Model Identifier 1.2, and it is running Snow Leopard very efficiently. It is just a bit slower than newer ones, especially in the graphics area. Otherwise is is a very good machine.
Ciao.

Slow mac book pro,especially on internet
